The latest update is out from ING Groep ( (ING) ).
On 3 March 2026, ING Groep N.V. announced it had completed a short share repurchase programme launched on 2 March 2026 to meet obligations under its share-based employee compensation plans. The bank bought back 2,968,426 ordinary shares at an average price of €23.82, for a total outlay of about €70.73 million, reflecting ongoing use of equity-based rewards while modestly concentrating existing shareholders’ stakes.
The transaction is part of ING’s broader capital management and incentive strategy, aligning staff remuneration with shareholder interests without signalling a change in its overall dividend or buyback policy. The group continues to position itself as a leading, sustainability-focused European bank, supported by strong ESG ratings and broad index inclusion that may appeal to long-term institutional investors.
The most recent analyst rating on (ING) stock is a Buy with a $33.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ING Groep stock, see the ING Stock Forecast page.
